Abstract

This time we present the article of a famous French archaeologist Georges Seure. It analyzes two reliefs from Odessos (present-day Varna, Bulgaria), dating back to the Roman Empire period, which depict riding characters and their companions, as well as Greek inscriptions accompanying the reliefs. These monuments are examined in the context of the Thracian Horseman cult and religion in general, social life and culture of the Eastern Balkans of the Roman period and the Roman Empire as a whole. Special attention is paid to the meaning of the word ἥρως (hero) and the words preceding it in the studied inscriptions.
